I still don't know when I am going to have another ultrasound but I will let you know. The reason the doctor said there was a possibility of twins was because of the measurement he had taken (did I spell that right). That was the reason for the first ultrasound, he didn't do the one that they place on top of your stomach, he did the more uncomfortable kind. He measured the baby on the ultrasound and said the baby was 11 wks at the time. But he looked confused, he was sure I was farther along because of the first measurement. If I find out that there is twins I think I would be horrified. How would I do it? My second baby will barely be a year when the other/s is born. And I'm only 24, I'll be 25 when the other is born, but that is still young to have four children. From my mothers' brothers and sisters, there are 11 of them, one had a set of twins, they are 29, and another had a set that were aborted. So far none of the grandchilren have had any. I don't know if it makes a difference in ages either. The oldest of them is almost eighty and the youngest is forty. The oldest grandchild is in their forties and the youngest is going to be 8. I know they say that the genes skip generations but what is considered a new generation, the children from the grandchildren? I don't want twins! Now one of my grandmothers' sisters had two sets. From both sets one died. One was diagnosed with AIDS in his thirties and past a couple of years later, the other is fine, that I know of. The other set, one died at birth. My grandmothers' other sister has a daughter that has a set, they are 28, so far I don't think they have children. I haven't seen them in a couple of years. But they were the reason their mother decided not to have any more.
I want more, just later on in life, like when I'm 30.
As for the fruits and dairy products those were just summer foods I grew up with. Almost all of my family worked in a packing house or helped pick the fruits. The dairy products are something that are also rich in flavor and I miss those things.
